Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. And we begin with fastmoving developments for the investigation into that doomed passenger jet. An airbus a320 and that eightminute decent to death. What should have been a relatively quick flight. Barcelona to dusseldorf germany. Disappearing from radar, silence from the cockpit. Dissint rating in the french alps. 150 knew 00 now feared dead. That plane in tiny pieces. You can almost make out the name of the airline there. Families of the passengers in shock, gathering at the airport, waiting for official word tonight. On board that plane, families students headed home after an exchange program. And tonight, there is new word one of the black boxes has been recovered. We do have coverage this evening, and we begin with abcs chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran at the airport in deucele gor of. Reporter rescuers searching, hoping for signs of life. But sifting through the wreckage in this remote Mountain Area some of the debris still smoldering, the plane just obliterated, it was clear. All are lost. Scattered among the rocks, parts of the tail. And the fuselage. You see the planes windows and a bit of the germanwings logo. It was supposed to be a routine flight. Just after 10 00 a. M. , the germanwings aircraft takes off from barcelona, heading toward dusseldorf about a twohour journey. On board, 150 people, including two babies and six crew members. The airbus a320 reaches cruising altitude of 38,000 feet when suddenly something going wrong and it starts a steep de descent. Eight minutes later, with the plane just 6,000 feet above the french alps, air Traffic Control loses all contact. Local eyewitnesses describe what happened next. I saw the plane come out from over there and it was really low in altitude, this man says. And then we heard a very loud sound, like dynamite, she says. Within 30 minutes, rescue choppers on the scene. Dangerous terrain for a recoverymission, so steep and the debris scattered over a huge area. The french alps, now the scene of a massive effort. Abcs Hamish Macdonald is there. Reporter when daybreaks in a few hours from now, well over 700 people will be working here. But for all the military helicopters and hardware to reach this crash site some of the recovery workers will have to walk the final miles by foot. Reporter at the airports across europe anguish. Frantic relatives looking for news. And in the german town of haltern, at this school an unimaginable heartbreak. Students and their teachers returning home after an exchange program, and now theyre all gone. Today, their town mayor could only say, it is pretty much the worst thing you can imagine. So now the investigation begins and they have already recovered one of the black boxes from that airbus a320. Aviation experts in paris will now scour the data on it looking for any clues to find out what went so wrong with this flight. David . Terry moran, leading us off tonight live from germany. Terry, thank you. And tonight, an urgent search for answers is now under way. And Abcs David Kerley who covers aviation for us on the speed of the descent, and what it might reveal. And just when that radar signal disappeared. Reporter the mystery the question tonight what happened just after this airbus a320 reached cruising altitude. A handful of possibilities are top of mind for investigators, given that it was just one minute after reaching 38,000 feet that the jetliner nosed down descending one and a half to two times faster than normal making at what appears to be an emergency descent. It ail peers to be an intentional maneuver. Why, we dont know. Reporter one possibility, a quick depressurization lack of oxygen meaning the pilots could have become incapacitated. Smoke in the cockpit, making it difficult to see or operate and the crew could have been overcome by smoke. A third possibility . Was there a problem the pilots were trying to deal with a followed emergency procedures to lose altitude and work the issue . But there was no radio call. Normally what you do is you fly the airplane first, and possibly they are deeming with heavy smoke, fire in the airplane. It may be that priorities have not gotten to communicating yet. Reporter and finally, while Officials Say it is unlikely hijacking or terrorism still cant be ruled out. And dave kerley is with us now from our washington studio. And youve been digging today what do we know about the planes maintenance record . Reporter it had just been through a regular maintenance check yesterday and had a Major Services on schedule a couple of years ago. These a320s are safe and reliable. There are more than 6,000 of them in service worldwide. David . David kerley in our Washington Bureau tonight. David, thank you. And i want to brick in abcs aviation consultant john nance tonight. And john i want to take everyone at home back to the pictures the aerials that show the plane simply obliterated, nothing but tiny pieces remaining. When you hear about the descent, one and a half times faster than typical. What does that tell you . Reporter david, it tells me they were in an emergency descent. They had to get down because there was smoke in the cockpit or something they were reacting to. You told me, if it was kas catastrophic catastrophic it could have plummeted even faster. This is true. You can take an airplane like this up to a faster speed and get up to barber pole 7,000, 8,000 feet a second. What do you make of the fact that there was no distress call . This is one of the big puzzles, because normally when you start an emergency descent and you turn offcourse a little bit, youre going into oncoming traffic and step number one, after you get it established in the descent is to allcall air Traffic Control. And you heard david report there that this particular plane was checked out just yesterday, but there are a billion passengers who ride airbus a320s every year and everyone is going to want to know how safe are they . These are very safe airplanes. They are right up there with the boeing 737. All right, john nance, david kerley terry moran, our thanks to the team tonight. Well have much more on nightline and on good morning america. And in the men time tonight, we turn now to the medal headline involving angelina jolie. Revealing the Bold Decision she says she made for her dhirn, nearly two years after undergoing a double mastectomy. Now the 39yearold choosing to have her ovaries removed. But tonight, warning other women about following suit shes urging caution. Abcs cecilia vega now. Reporter one of hollywoods most public faces, tonight, is sharing a very private decision. Angelina jolie says a recent blood test detected what could be signs of early Ovarian Cancer. The very disease that took the life of her mother. About 20,000 american women get Ovarian Cancer each year. Most will die from it. And so last week, jolie had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed. A preventative surgery she calls the best option. I told myself to stay call to be strong, and that i had no reason to think i wouldnt live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren. A surgery, that comes with severe consequences. I will not be able to have any more children, she writes, but i feel at ease with whatever will come. It is the second Stunning Health revelation from this leading lady. Nearly two years ago, jolie underwent a preventative double mastectomy, after testing positive for braca1. Women who carry this gene munition have a nearly 65 risk of Breast Cancer and a 39 risk of 0 save yan cancer. I didnt expect there to be so much support. I was very moved by it. Reporter the socalled angelina effect prompting more women than ever to get genetic testing for cancer a reaction that surprised the actress, as she told George Stephanopoulos last year. Its connected me so much to other families other women. Its been a really beautiful journey. Reporter but carrying a gene mutation jolie says does not mean a leap to surgery. This time she emphasized that she and other women just like her have options. She writes i feel feminine and grounded in the choices i am making for myself and my family. And jolie says, when youre faced with decisions like the one she just had to make you realize what matters in life what is important, really and she says she finds peace in that. She also david, says her children will not to say, my mom dies of 0 save yan cancer. David . Cecilia, thank you. Lets get to dr. Jen ashton. We were both struck by what jolie wrote. She does not mean a leap to surgery, for all women going through the same thing. In fact you say thats an important important. Reporter absolutely. 30 le of women choose not to have the surgery. But the benefits are really clear. In women with this munition when they have their tubes and ovaries removed, it cuts their risk of death by 70 . But whats really new here david, is the fallopian tubes. Thats where the majority of cancer is throughout to originate. Thats a stunning number cutting the risk by 70 . And youve performed this surgery . Reporter yes. Its generally low risk. It can be done in 15 minutes there are always risks, but the major impact is that it does put a woman into immediate men menupause. Its important to lay out all the decisions with your doctor. Reporter correct. You could just take a Birth Control pill to lower your risk. Dr. Ashton thank you. Now, to the new images coming out tonight. The agents accused of driving drunk. Two Top Secret Service agents inside that car, bumping a barrier, all while other agents were already investigating what they thought was a possible bomb. The video only surfacing now weeks after that first report that delay sparking outrage tonight on capitol hill. And youre about to hear it. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas tonight. Reporter the incident is infamous. Allegedly drunk secret Service Agents outside a white house gate. But the video released today is far less dramatic. Two agents in a government car driving slowly, no high speed, no crash. Just nudging a temporary barrier. But that didnt stop members of congress from blistering the new secret service director, its like the keystone cops here. Reporter and today, new questions about whether the secret service responded aggressively enough to a possible bomb threat. The reason there was a crime scene in the first place. It took you 30 minutes. To be on the lookout for a woman who dropped a package at the white house and said this is a bomb. This is the life safety and security of the president of the United States and the white house. The president is safe the first family is safe and the white house is safe.
